High-value notes (read this first)
This is an update opportunity because your existing DENOSA post reflects the older 2026 closing date. The current DENOSA page now states the 2027 closing date and confirms that applicants must have been fully paid-up DENOSA members for at least two years immediately before applying.
DENOSA describes these bursaries as once-off donations. They are not automatically renewed and the amounts are small, usually covering only part of study expenses.
About the sponsor
DENOSA is a professional and labour organisation for nurses in South Africa. Its Study Fund Committee administers bursary support and travel grants for eligible members who meet the stated requirements.
